Chapter 256 - Disowned (1/2)
Lee Minjoon slammed his chopsticks on top of the table, creating a loud noise, and as his eyes upon Jinhee, he voiced out, ”Are you trying to say we are not your family? Lee Jinhee, are you that eager to get disowned by us?”
As a small smirk formed on Lee Jinhee's face, she said, ”Shin Soyeon is a guest of ours as well. It is not good to show the ugly side of the family to her.”
Picking up her chopsticks, Jinhee placed some kimchi inside her mouth whilst a light-hearted expression was upon her face. The Lee family did not attach any importance to Shin Soyeon for she was not the daughter of any affluent and top families.
”It is you who have started it, Lee Jinhee, and if you are willing to get disowned, I have no problems with it. Maybe I, as a parent, is a burden upon you,” Minjoon vocalised.
As a sad look appeared in Jiyoung's eyes, she placed her hand on Minjoon's shoulder, and as she stared at him, she said, ”Don't say that, Minjoon. I am sure Jinhee likes us as much as we like her, and she could be going through some difficult times.”
Lee Jinhee scoffed, and turning to face Lee Dowon, Jinhee said, ”I have finished eating, Grandfather Dowon.”
Before she got up, Jinhee added, ”Oh yeah! Grandpa Dowon, Soyeon and I are planning to go on a tiny road trip, and if it gets too late, I might return little later than the night.”
Lee Jinhee looked at Lee Minjoon from the corner of her eyes and noticed that nonchalance showed upon his face.
”Sure, you can do that. Take Driver Kim along with you, and take care of yourself,” Dowon vocalised to which Jinhee nodded.

As Lee Jinhee sat at the back seat of the car beside Shin Soyeon, Jinhee's eyes stared at the scenery beyond her window. Soyeon was not someone who liked making conversations, and Jinhee was not mood to talk at this moment.
The road in front of her was completely empty, and mountains were present at one side of the road. On the other side was a railing, and as the car was going up gradually, Jinhee tapped her hand on top of the window.
Waiting for Minjoon to make him move was beginning to make anxious, and she hoped that Minjoon would not ignore this chance. Her heart beat rapidly within her chest as a sigh left her mouth.
If this plan of hers became successful, then there would be a major attack against Minjoon, and if she revealed news of how she is not Minjoon's daughter, then Minjoon's position as the CEO will be threatened. He would be pressured to sell his shares and will be spending couple of years behind the bars.
If Jinhee was lucky, she might be able to make Jiyoung fall for this plot of hers, and staring at the sky, Jinhee could easily see how dark and gloomy they were turning out to be.
Seeing the clouds on top of the sky, Jinhee had an inkling that it would rain— as the weather forecast said— and under such a condition, barely anyone would go on this road.
This would make an perfect opportunity for Minjoon to make his move.
Turning her head to face Shin Soyeon, Jinhee vocalised, ”Are you ready? Once again, I apologise about involving you in something as dangerous as this.”
